Thinking about doing grad school part-time while working. If you’ve done it, how did you balance the chaos? Did you feel like the payoff was actually worth it or was it just an expensive way to feel busy?

I did that for portfolio school, so not technically grad school and it was genuinely really difficult. You should look at what the degree program you’re considering is and if it will actually help you with your career goals in the long-term. Will that degree actually help you achieve the new position or salary bump that you’re looking for or can you get to those things without the degree?

I did this and it was an expensive way to feel busy. I didn't fully dedicate myself to grad school or work so I just had a very stressful 2.5 years.

However if that degree is something that is relevant to your current job and can help you like Leo Burnett 1 said, then my biggest piece of advice is to make sure you take care of yourself physically and mentally as much as you can. I became very sedentary during my program and I am still working to undo the damage I did to my health.

If you want to stay in the agency business in account management, an advanced degree won’t help move faster or further. Might be a faster route to client side, though.

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?
